Beyond Breathwork with Levi Saada

Levi Sada on Somatic Healing, Triggers, Masculinity & Integration (Pure Podcast)On Pure Podcast in Miami, host Ayala interviews Levi Sada, a Jerusalem-based somatic therapist and facilitator who works with individuals, groups, and couples internationally. Levi explains his “slow and steady” approach to healing using Hakomi, somatic experiencing, IFS, mindfulness, and elements of EMDR to create corrective, experiential, relational experiences that help clients work with anxiety, people-pleasing, addiction, low self-esteem, and relationship chaos. They discuss reframing triggers as teachers and activations for integration rather than reasons to label others toxic, and explore nonviolent communication (Marshall Rosenberg) through needs, pitcher/catcher roles, consent, and reflective listening to deepen intimacy. Levi shares his shift from tech and performance culture, his inner-child awakening, early ayahuasca experiences, Jewish intensity, building song circles for community without psychedelics, the importance of integrating peak experiences, grief work around unmet needs, and spiritual grounding through hisbodadut and surrender.00:00 Breathwork Meets Trauma Healing00:50 Meet Levi Sada02:52 What Levi Actually Does04:30 Corrective Experiences Explained06:04 Triggers and Integration07:03 Fast vs Slow Healing09:03 Hakomi and Mixed Modalities09:57 Working With Men11:42 Masculinity in Relationships15:09 Nonviolent Communication Basics17:17 Needs Behind the Story20:18 Hearts and Bodies Relax21:40 Overconsumption vs Integration22:38 Levi’s Origin Story24:12 Ayahuasca Introduction25:02 Ceremony Wake Up Call26:20 Healing While Building Career27:20 Why Face Your Demons29:17 Soul Correction And Lifetimes30:44 Triggers Versus Activators32:17 Integration After The High35:46 Addiction To Intensity38:02 Song Circles And Community40:38 Intimacy As Embodiment43:56 Grief And Unmet Needs46:11 Hisbodadut And Surrender48:04 Closing Thanks And Takeaways
